V8 Rookie Course - Adelaide

If you have always wanted the challenge of driving a real V8 VX 6-speed manual Commodore around a real V8 race track then this is just for you! Strap into the driver's seat of a V8 Rookie Course race car and tackle Adelaide International Raceway like a pro racer. The day begins with a briefing conducted by your experienced instructors for your day of motorsport on the race track. This will cover techniques on cornering apexes and exiting efficient braking and acceleration steering gear changes and general car control. Safety and track awareness will also be discussed. Feel free to ask questions so that you feel comfortable to get in the car and put theory into practice. Then an instructor takes you on observation laps to survey the track before you jump into the drivers seat. Following this your instructor buckles into the passenger seat watching you drive and giving you feedback and encouragement to ensure you learn the correct techniques and drive safely. The first “warm up lap” allows you to familiarise yourself with the car and track your confidence will grow and your skills will improve as you learn how to gain more control and speed. Then there will be no stopping you! Each driver completes five laps of Adelaide International Raceway. V8 racetrack driving does not even begin to compare to street driving! At the conclusion of your session all drivers are presented a certificate with photograph autographed by your instructor and cap.
